AGA to Induct New Class of Gaming Hall of Fame Inductees TonightThe Gaming Hall of Fame is growing by a count of four tonight in Las Vegas.

The AGA will celebrate the achievements of this year’s honorees at 6:30 P.M. at Hyde at the Bellagio.

In July, The American Gaming Association first announced the newest inductees to its venerable Gaming Hall of Fame.

This year, the AGA is calling those selected the most diverse class of inductees to ever make the cut.

Here’s the list of inductees:

  • Late gaming law expert Bob Faiss
  • Former Las Vegas mayor and current Caesars executive Jan Jones Blackhurst
  • Nevada gaming control board pioneer Patricia Becker
  • The second-ever tribal gaming leader to be selected, Ernie Stevens

“We’re proud to recognize these men and women who have led the gaming industry as it’s become a job creating and economic development machine in Las Vegas, around the country and across the globe,” says Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the AGA.

“Bob, Jan, Patty and Ernie have moved gaming forward by guiding the industry through a period of incredible growth, by blazing a path for more women to assume leadership positions, and by advocating on behalf of tribal communities across the nation,” he concluded. “I look forward to celebrating their tremendous careers and contributions to gaming.”
